Reclaim The City - 12th November
Anti-cuts activists have focused on banker greed and tax dodgers (the symptoms). Now it's time to focus on The City itself (the disease). Join us at the Lord Mayor's Show 12th November, as we lay out three concrete demands for democratic reform of the Corporation of London. We will then have an alternative Lord Mayor's Parade to the Occupation at St. Paul's, where we will acclaim an alternative Lord Mayor for the People, chosen by the democratic will of the Occupation's General Assembly.

Manifesto
Art Uncut is committed to the following three principles:
- 1 The cuts currently being imposed by the Conservative-led UK government are unnecessarily severe, unfairly distributed, and harmful to the UK economy.
- 2 Post-2008 it is idiotic to think that leaving everything to the markets is a good way to run an economy.
- 3 Tax is ethical.
Aim
To complement the work of UK Uncut by raising awareness of political themes that are at one remove from the cuts - tax and development, class discrimination, the power of the City of London - but which ultimately have significance for the anti-cuts movement. To work closely with Tax Justice Network to challenge the tax affairs of artists, musicians and public figures, in the hope of bringing about a culture where people automatically and instinctively think about tax in an ethical context.
